Episode 80: President Funnie Valentine

Sorry if the bit at the beginning doesn't land. I hadn't finished the movie by the time it was time to record, and we thought it'd be funny if I finished while we started the episode.

Episode 69: Different Sets of Guys Doing Bits

As I'm scheduling this, I think I was technically supposed to put up the Star Wars 4 episode first, so that'll go up next. We ended up having to record this one twice because the first recording got lost. It technically would've been episode 69 if it had posted before Bedknobs and Broomsticks like it was supposed to, so I'm still numbering it that way. Also, this episode is literally 30 seconds short of being the longest. 31 seconds, if you want to get technical, because that would've put it longer that Encanto where 30 would've put it tied with Encanto.

Episode 66: The Atlantis Alphabet Theory

Y'all, I couldn't find music for this one. I'm sure it's there, but not where I could find it while I was editing. Also, my Audacity audio dropped out for a good chunk of the first section, so I had to use my Craig audio for it. At least it sounds closer to normal this time, I think. Anyway, this movie doesn't know shit about Trondheim, Norway.

Fragmentary Passages 1: Regrettable Voice Decisions

Is this new side series the most cursed one yet? Hard to say, but at least we had fun!

Episode 65: The Hollywood Snake Pit

CW: We discuss the age difference between Marion and Indy when they met during part of this episode, and this leads to a similar event in the 1990s animated Batman series. This lasts from 47:00 to 53:35. This movie ended up having less going on than I thought it would, but it's a good watch overall. Kat wasn't in this episode, BUT SHE DEFINITELY STILL WATCHED IT, RIGHT?

D- Fuck Man I Don't Know This was Supposed to be a Bit but the Bit was Bad So it Became This

There are two moments in this episode where I was asked to make specific edits (you'll know when you get to them), but I ended up not doing them because I edit on the weekends and the weekend this got edited I was kind of out of it for reasons that will be made clear in the Aristocrats episode.
